The Faculty

Our defining features are:

Our bachelor’s degrees, which are open to everyone and aim to provide a general training for the preparation of professional practices in the spirit of the European Higher Education Area.
Our commitment to internationalization, with an offer of one bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees in English, as well as subjects taught in English in other bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
The promotion of internships and entrepreneurship, with a wide range of internship agreements and a pioneering workspace for entrepreneurial projects within the Catalan university system. 
A wide-ranging offer of postgraduate studies in the field of research and doctoral training and in specialized and professional training. 
A large offer of international exchange agreements (European Erasmus programmes, BCA programme with the United States and agreements with Latin America and Asia).
Quality research, with 22 research groups consolidated by the Government of Catalonia, more than 200 active researchers and three platforms gathering research: UB School of Economics, UB Business School and UB Sociology.

We have a dean, vice-deans and a secretary as well as the centre administrator. The Faculty Board and the committees of the Faculty Board, the Department's Governing Board, the academic councils and the coordinating committees of the master’s degrees and doctoral programmes are also part of the Faculty.

The departments are the basic teaching and research units at the University and are specifically responsible for the teaching tasks commended to them by the academic councils. Each department has a director, a secretary and a departmental council formed by its PDI, its PTGAS and a representation of students of the courses in which the departments participate. Some departments are structured in departmental sections.

We are a socially responsible institution, we care for people and work to improve our social impact and reduce our environmental impact. 

Equality and sustainability, together with social commitment, frame the internal activity of the Faculty. The internal and external communication of the Faculty’s academic life, in teaching, research and transfer, is a central element of accountability to society.

We provide all members with services and equipment to support study, teaching and research, which should enable all groups to carry out university activities in the best possible way. 

Some examples of these services are the computer rooms (equipped for the teaching staff, students and PTGAS of the Faculty), the library (with bibliographic resources to support teaching and research programmes of the Faculty), the Language Services (with language courses and resources for the University community) and other spaces such as workrooms or locker rental.
